    Smoke problems...HELP!

    So I thought I would give you an update in case you ever find someone else with this problem.  I tried a lot of the different suggestions and finally had a thought.....the flame in the smoker was very small.  I thought maybe there was too much of a heat imbalance, so I cranked the heat in the...

    Smoke problems...HELP!

    Thanks for all the input Eric.  The smoker box is not really air tight, but I think it is probably a good idea to put an air intake in the box.  I have tried just lighting the far back burner (which is usually how I get low heat), which is about 8 inches from the smoke box pipes.  I think if the...

    Smoke problems...HELP!

    There is no outside air coming into the smoker so you may be right.... Do you have any suggestions on how to get air in to the smoker box?

    Smoke problems...HELP!

    There is no smoke smell and I do not feel it in my eyes at all when I open it up or am peaking in. Something that I didn't put in my original post is that when I open the door to the smoking chamber the pellets will start smoking again. I will take some pictures and post them when I get a...

    Smoke problems...HELP!

    I'm looking for some advise.  I have a homemade propane smoker/grill (I know, a lot of people don't like the propane route but...) and I can get a lot of smoke out of my smoker box until I turn up the heat in the main grilling area. As soon as I turn on a burner to bring up the temp, the smoke...

    Whole Pork Skin not edible

    I cooked a whole hog for a party I had this past weekend.  I was very disappointed in that the skin on the hog turned out like boot leather instead of being crunchy and good.  That was actually the main thing I was looking forward to because I had it once before with hot sauce and loved it...

    Rotisserie in homemade grill

    I am building a new grill out of a rolled barrel that is 4 ft. long and around 38 in. deep.  I want to put a rotisserie in it but am unsure what kind of motor to use or where to get it.  Any ideas?  I want to be able to put a descent amount of weight on it.  Thanks!
